I recently moved to Portugal and it’s been so easy to get bogged down in day to day life that I’ve forgotten what an incredible, beautiful place I live in. My wonder comes when I look up and see old world apartments or hand painted tiles or sunset through the magnolia blossoms. Then I remember how far I’ve come and the wonder of the life we built.
This really struck a chord with me today. As you say there is so much heaviness in the world right now that taking time to watch the steam rise off my coffee can seem so trivial in the greater scheme of things. This is such a great reminder though that the small pleasures are so very important to our own wellbeing.
